About the Community of Practice
The Transforming Medicines Manufacturing Community of Practice seeks to address challenges and barriers faced by the Medicines Manufacturing sector. By bringing together individuals at all career levels from across the sector and allied sectors, the CoP looks to address these challenges collectively through providing opportunities, resources, support and knowledge-sharing.
The CoP is open to all and is comprised of three working groups focussed on manufacturing, formulation and digitalisation/automation which will deliver a wide range of opportunities for participants to engage in workshops, webinars, and face-to-face events. Members are not limited to a single working group, allowing flexibility to engage as they feel appropriate. The CoP also offers members an opportunity to interact and collaborate with other organisations including regulators, stay up to date with the latest sector news including grant funding, policy changes and regulatory announcements, as well as shaping the future of medicines manufacturing in the UK.
